Hibiscus Vanilla Latte

I’ve been making this hibiscus vanilla latte for a few weeks now, and I am SOOOOO excited to finally share it with you guys!!! It combines several of my favorite things: wonderfully tangy edible hibiscus flowers, vanilla, whole milk, raw honey, and pretty-colored beverages. A few things, though—to be successful with this, you have to follow the instructions in the recipe for the milk to tea ratio, and you have to use whole dairy-based milk or some kind of nut milk. If you try to use a low-fat dairy-based milk, it will curdle because of the acidity of the hibiscus tea. If you stick with the recipe quantities and delicious whole milk, however, you’ll be all set! For the hibiscus tea, I used dried organic hibiscus petals that I then crushed myself with my fingers, and then mixed them with some whole peppercorns to brew the tea with a subtle kick. If you want the tea to be even more peppery, you can crush the peppercorns first, but if you want it to be very mild you can just leave them whole. After you let the tea steep for a few minutes, just add in a little hot milk, a little vanilla extract, and a little raw honey, stir, and voila!! You have a magical unicorn of a hibiscus vanilla latte, unparalleled in both flavor and appearance. Plus it takes 5 minutes to make, which is exactly the amount of time I want to spend making a beverage first thing in the morning. Also! I’m trying something new here, and doing a little link love in a blog post once a month which I’m aptly naming “social corner”. It’s just a fun thing to share stuff I saw around the web that I liked and things I’ve been up to. Hope you like it and my hibiscus vanilla latte!

Oh my, suddenly it all makes sense!!! I’ve been drinking hibiscus tea minus my milk because it always curdled, and I hated it and couldn’t drink, but never really inderstood why. Now, I see!!! It’s skimmed milk and it’s gotta be made with whole milk!!! Hw silly am I?https://bloglairdutemps.blogspot.pt/
